XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in her chair on the Bridge looking over a few reports::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::hovers onto the bridge a bit refresher::

Uyiol says:
@ Yulei: Captian of ship, now you go get.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Senses the CO enter the Bridge and speaks:: CO: Welcome ma'am.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::paces the small room where he's being kept::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Long-range scans detect the Utopia Planitia docked with another vessel.

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei> Uyiol: Shortly I will be back.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::moves on down to the command area::  XO: Hello... give me an update.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::at the tactical console, reviewing the incoming scans::

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei>:: goes to the stateroom to fetch the Jinxx ::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: We are thirty minutes out Commander. That is all I have at the moment.

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei>:: opens the door, with a phaser raised :: Jinxx:  Come with I now, you will.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::turns and spits::Yulei: Ah go sit on a warp core! ::walks to the other side of the room::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Is there anything on your end Commander?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::picks the sensor signature out for the other ship and feeds it to the computer, to run a template analysis::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Looks around the bridge, embarrassed as he walks in late::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Notices Ensign Kain walk in late but says nothing. She just makes a mental note::

Uyiol says:
<Yulei>@ :: grabs Jinxx and starts to drag him ::  Jinxx: Coming with I you will, not like it or do.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I have the other ships on long-range sensors. They’re a smattering of a variety of technologies

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Have you been able to hail the cruise liner?

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Sits down at his console:: CO: Sir, so far all of my attempts have come up with no reply... I would however like to apologize for my tardiness. It won't happen again, sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:CO AN amalgam so to speak, some Andorian technology

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::pulls away::Yulei: Get your hands off me! I'm going, I'm going. ::heads to the door::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
CSO: How many ships?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::pipes up:: CO: At least two, Captain. I'm running an analysis on the second.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'm taking about the vessel that is docked

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei>:: lets go of Jinxx and hold the phaser on him :: Jinxx: Move on you get.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::smiles:: CO: What Commander Hayward said, ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Turns towards the CSO as she listens::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods to the OPS::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
CSO: Understood

PCO_Jinxx says:
@:;grumbles something about idiots and walks out::

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei>Jinxx:  This way you go.   ::points and walks down the corridor with Jinxx to where Uyiol is ::

TO_Ens_Duke says:
XO: Commander, I would recommend approaching cautiously. An abrupt entrance might turn this in to a hostage situation.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::nods::Yulei: Yeah, yeah, I'm going.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods towards the Ensign:: CO: I would suggest Yellow Alert to be on the safe side ma'am.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Have you found out anything from reviewing the passenger manifest?

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei>:: arrives where Uyiol is :: Jinxx:  In here go you.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods to her XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
TO: Well Ensign bring us to Yellow Alert.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::saunters into the room::Uyiol: Ok I'm here. What do you want and where's my crew?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods gravely:: XO: Yellow Alert, Aye. ::hits the button to start the alarms wailing and runs diagnostics on the weapons systems::

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei> Uyiol: Captain here I brought.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Notices the yellow lights begin to flash and then looks towards OPS, wondering if he has found anything::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Is trying to respond to having found something or not, but can't recall the information... as if some omnipotent source was withholding it from him...::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
CSO: Have you found out how close this liner is to the last known locations of the missing 4 ships?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::quietly running simulations on bogey numbers based on the size of the enemy craft, and the size of the cruise ship, trying to make probability maps for distribution within the liner::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO:  The phaseres in the ship are federation. At least we can always negate them, knowing how to manipulate our weapons to match their frequency if necessary. ::realizes this is simply an observation running through his head:: I'm working on that now. The missing ships are still 5 light years away

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over the reports from Engineering making sure everything down there is up to par for now::

Uyiol says:
@<Leiuj>*Uyiol* ship coming, sensors detect.

Uyiol says:
@*Leiuj* Understood I.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Suddenly remembers:: CO: Sir, all that I've been able to dig up is that there are a bunch of very wealthy people on this transport. They're on vacation, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears Kain:: Self: Not a surprise.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::mind flashes: Self: People. Shoreleave

Uyiol says:
Jinxx: Crew in stateroom is.    Codes for safes I want.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::frowns a bit in thought::  XO: Think this is a regular old space robbery?

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::laughs::Uyiol: Like I would tell you that even if I knew.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Exactly what I was thinking. Rich tourists on a liner.. sounds like the definition to me.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Try hailing the ship again.

Uyiol says:
@ :: begins to get angry :: Jinxx:  Blow them up I will, and with them your crew.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Duty FCO: Bring us in slow... they probably already know that we are on our way anyhow.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
XO: If this works out the way it should, the tourists should be compliant. That could work in our favor. The raider commander might have elected to leave most of his main force on the raider vessel.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Then do it and stop badgering me.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<Duty FCO> CO: Aye Ma'am. ::plugs in the flight plan::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
TO: Hopefully you are correct Ensign. However, if it is the reverse it will put us in a bad situation.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
Self: Even though we are already in one.

Uyiol says:
@<Leiuj>*Uyiol* ship closer, approaching fast.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Finishes all frequencies of hails:: CO: Still no response, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
TO: Are we in much danger from the raider ship?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods:: XO: Yes ma’am, very bad. ::returns to his probability maps, keeping an eye on the weapons status boards::

Uyiol says:
@*Leiuj*:  In a moment, I'm will be there

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Try the raider ship

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Nods and repeats the hail, with the different target inputted::

Uyiol says:
@Jinxx:  Coming with I , to the bridge you are.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over her console at the scans of the liner and raider ship::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
XO: Any thoughts on why they are still here... they have had over 12 hours.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@:;shrugs::Uyiol: Sure, you can blow us up later. :;grins::

Uyiol says:
@ Yulei: To the bridge go you.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks up from her console:: CO: None that I can think of unless there is something valuable aboard that they have not found yet. They may be looking for one specific item or person.

Uyiol says:
@ :: arrives on the bridge ::

Uyiol says:
@<Leiuj>Uyiol:  Hailing us they are.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks up from the comparison algorithms and smiles tightly:: CO: We're a match for them ma'am.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::walks onto the bridge and looks around:: Uyiol: Mind if I take a seat?

Uyiol says:
@ Leiuj: channel open.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
TO: How much of a match Ensign?

Uyiol says:
@ Yulei: an eye you keep on him.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::frowns at the TO's comment and wish it was more to their favor::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The vessel docked with the passenger liner looks like someone raided a scrap yard of every race in the quadrant grabbing all the good parts.

Uyiol says:
@<Yulei> :: nods ::

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO/XO: Enough of a match to not take them lightly, sirs. I suggest hitting them hard and fast if they need to be hit at all.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
<Duty FCO> CO: We have arrived. ::drops them out of warp and eases up to the two ships.::

Uyiol says:
@COM: Sharikahr:  Go away you, hostages we have.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::grins at Yulei::Yulei: Now watch me closely. See I'm walking to that chair over there. ::walks and points to the first officer's chair::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears a voice of the comm system:: CO: Well at least they finally answered.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::reads his scans::: CO: Ma'am. This ship I'm scanning is a veritable stink bomb of a ship.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::raises an eyebrow and looks at her XO::  XO: Who does that sound like to you? ::whispers::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
TO: Lifesigns on both ships?

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Whispers back:: CO: I am not sure but I recognize the way he speaks from somewhere before. ::ponders::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Put the ship on the viewscreen

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::sits in the first officer's chair and drums his fingers on the arm::

Uyiol says:
@*Esujl* the safes, blow up, valuables take.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: There’s almost nothing of value left.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
COM: Uyiol: We have come to help.

Uyiol says:
@<Esujl>  *Uyiol* Acknowledged I.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Taps his console, getting it up on screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Any idea why they are still there then Commander?

Uyiol says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Away go!!  Hostages we kill.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: No, not really.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::shudders at the sound of the comm coming in::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: There must be something they want but cannot get somehow.. maybe they like the liner itself.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::mutes comm::  TO: How many lifesigns Ensign?

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the man::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The pirates succeed (surprisingly) in blowing the safes and keeping the contents intact.

Uyiol says:
@<Esujl> *Uyiol*  Safes open, we take valuables.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@:;listens to Uyiol speak::Uyiol: Hey you better be nice to them. They have bigger guns than you do....hell you have pea shooters. ::laughs::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: There;s relaitivly litte left for them to want of the liner. I doubt it.

Uyiol says:
@Jinxx:  I'm take you with I.  They shoot not.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: There has to be something.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
XO: Perhaps they are wanting the passengers themselves to ransom but I some how doubt that

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::Frowns:: CO: I make 30 raiders, Captain. That's in line with the estimates based on ship size.

Uyiol says:
@*Esujl*  Take crew, ship go.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks up:: CO: A further 176 passengers appear to be confined to their staterooms. The raiders have run of the Planitia, ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: That doesn't sound like pirates to me. They would rather not deal with people if they do not have too.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Wanna bet. They're Starfleet. They'll shoot first and ask questions later........much later.

Uyiol says:
@<Esujl> *Uyiol*  Acknowledge I.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: One passenger unaccounted for... ::looks at the captain:: ..he appears to be surrounded by them.

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx:  Betting I, bargin for your life they will.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::raises an eyebrow::  TO: Interesting.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
All: Suggestions?

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx: Come you, I'm ship we go.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Only one? That is strange.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods to the XO::

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: My life? It aint worth a bar of a latinum. You picked a real loser in me bud.

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx:  Same being same, you come with I.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::curses lightly under his breath:: XO: Commander, the raiders seem to be moving a number of passengers toward their ship. Current count is twelve. I can't discern any reason. Best guess it's kidnapping or hostages, ma'am.

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx:  Now, you come with I or stunned you get and come with I.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::stands::Uyiol: Ok you win. Let's go. :;taps the console as he leaves sending a signal to whomever::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sighs:: TO: Understood Ensign. ::Looks over at the CO:: CO: Do you believe they will actually give us the passengers?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::nods::  TO: That makes sense.  Let's wait to see if we can get a vast majority of the passengers away from the raiders before pushing.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@:;thinks to himself::Self: Yeah, stun me and you have to heft me all the way, you idiot.

Uyiol says:
@ :: walks to were his ship is docked, with Jinxx in front of him. :: Jinxx:  I'm not make you alone be.  For company, some of your crew with I comes.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: Yes ma'am. Should I ready a boarding party to form a cordon?

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Oh boy, a party! Bring 'em on bud. ::motions with his fingers::

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx: Understand you, I not.  But go we will.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Looks over at the TO and then the CO::

Uyiol says:
@<Esujl> Uyiol: course set, away from here go.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: I didn't think you got it. ::rolls his eyes::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
TO: Yes.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The pirate vessel detaches itself from the Utopia Planitia.

Uyiol says:
Eiujl:  Acknowledged I.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Life support fails on the passenger liner and 5 well placed explosives detonate and the liner begins to vent atmosphere.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::sees the pirates detect::  TO: Belay that.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::gasps audibly:: CO: Explosions on the Planitia, Captain!

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow as she looks at the screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
TO: What cause that explosion Ensign!?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The pirates head towards the nebula.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::hears the other guy::Uyiol: Hey where we heading? I forgot my shades and thong. Dang it!

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Transport as many as you can get.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Duty FCO: Give us some distance.

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx: Thong?  What thong??

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: Appears to be shaped charges, Captain. I'm sorry, I didn't detect them on initial scans.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Turns from the TO and rolls her eyes::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::growls under her breath::  TO: Track the raiders and don't lose them.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::looks Uyiol up and down and grins::Uyiol: You don't have to worry about it. You ain't got the right equipment for it.

Uyiol says:
@Jinxx:  Your women to Orions I will sell, paint them green I will.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The pirates enter the nebula and slowly begin to dissapeer from sensors.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Taps around on his console, imitating the transport::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I would suggest following them Commander.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::in a hard voice:: CO: Yes ma'am! ::sticks on the raiders like stink on a mugatu::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The passengers begin to materialize on the Sharikahr in batches of 12 at a time.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
XO: Send in a runabout after them... I want you on it... do a site to site transport

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, there’s a vessel disappearing into the nebula.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Use all the transports that you can... ever the cargobay if you can

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Hope you get a good price for 'em. Ya might wanna dump Stevens though. She's just an accident waiting to happen. What a shmutz that one.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The pirate vessel does not appear on sensors anymore.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Understood sir. ::She stands up:: CO: I would like Commander Hayward to accompany me Commander. His skills may be useful.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Also use the shuttles transports

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
CSO: Launch a probe into the Nebula

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx:  Sell you maybe also.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: All passengers and crew have been transported to the Sharikahr.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: Already on it, sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::launches standard nebula probe:: CO: Aye Sir

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
XO: ::nods to the XO::

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Me? You ain't gonna get a ....::pauses::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Commander you are with me. ::She walks over:: CSO: Initiate a site to site transport to the Shuttlebay.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: We're kind of overrun with passengers...::notes that al ships systems are running at a critical high:: XO: Yes Sir, I'm right behind you.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::rubs his chin::Uyiol: On second thought.....I might fetch ya a few bars.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::sees that they have anyone now::  XO/CSO: Never mind we will go in after them ourselves.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Raise shields

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Pauses:: CO: Understood ma'am. ::Heads back to her chair::

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
TO: Take us to Red Alert

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx: I'm think crazy you are.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Raises shields:: CO: Shields up, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
Duty FCO: Take us in

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr loses contact with the probe almost as it enters the nebula.

TO_Ens_Duke says:
::sets off the alarms and brings the weapons fully online as he readies the ship for battle::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;returns to his station::

PCO_Jinxx says:
@::laughs loudly::Uyiol: Why sure I'm crazy. You don't think a sane man would be ferrying these rich do nothings around out here do ya?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO/XO: Probes have ceased telemetry

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx:  Pay you well they do?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::curses under her breath at the recent turn of events::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Understood. I suppose the nebula is causing the interference.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
CSO: Figure out a way to find them and quick

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: yes, they are...possibly

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: As the Sharikahr enters the nebula the shields fail.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Pay? I be robbing these people blind and they aren't the wiser. ::grins::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:;scans for any sign of the probes::

Uyiol says:
@ Jinx: Need a new job you do?  :: rubs his chin ::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: Shields down, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Launch another probe out of the nebula to send an update to HQ.

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Feels a small jolt from the shields falling:: OPS: Get them back Ensign!

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
XO: I doubt we will be able to

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
CO: I'm working on it sir! ::Works on the shields and launches another prob::

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: Captain... this isn't the best circumstances to be pursuing these raiders, ma'am...

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Either do I. ::Sighs::

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Hmmm, got something in mind friend? ::pats Uyiol's back:: Let's talk.

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
TO: Alternate suggestions?

TO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: I don't think there are any. ::blinks::

Uyiol says:
@ Jinxx: Maybe no, maybe yes.  How I know you turn on me not?

CO_Cmdr_Cephas says:
::glares at the screen not thinking that there was any either::

XO_LtCmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: I would agree with the TO Commander.

PCO_Jinxx says:
@Uyiol: Oh I think we can do a deal....me smart, you dumb......perfect match.
